What drew you to Venue at the Grove?
First I got married at Venue at the Grove in 2018, about 2 years into shooting weddings. After seeing the venue through a groom’s perspective I loved the staff so much and how amazing the entire day was. I knew that day I wanted to be a part of the team! The atmosphere, how organized everything is and the venue itself are all just so amazing!
Fun Fact: Tell us something that is fun or interesting about yourself or your company!
Fun facts about me, I’ve seen every season of The Office 15 times, I used to be sponsored by a local skate shop and skateboarded for about 16 years (age 4-age 20, another fun fact being a wedding photographer was never on the radar. I actually wanted to run my own chain of restaurants until I shot my first wedding. I instantly fell in love, changed my entire career and never looked back! Best decision ever!
How did you get into photographing weddings?
My getting into weddings story is a little different! I was only shooting portraits at the time here and there working as a restaurant manager, my boss was getting married and wanted me to help her get getting ready photos, I reached out to their photographer to ask if it was okay it with them and to tag along as a 3rd photographer. That day I fell in love with wedding photography and it’s been full time ever since!
